Extracorporeal Magnetic Transduction Therapy
Dr. Lev Kalika About NYC Chiropractor Dr. Lev Kalika
For more than 15 years, Dr. Kalika has been on a mission to revolutionize how injuries, pain syndromes and movement disorders are diagnosed and treated. By leveraging the latest technologies and innovative treatment methods, Dr. Kalika has upped the game in the realm of chiropractic care and physical therapy.
From incorporating the highest resolution diagnostic ultrasonography to making significant contributions to research on ultrasound guided dry needling, Dr. Kalika is a frontrunner in the field of rehabilitative medicine. His NYC clinic provides patients with a broad range of state-of-the-art treatment options, rarely found in private chiropractic clinics.
Dr. Kalika is trained and certified in musculoskeletal ultrasonography, dry needling, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, extracorporeal magnetic transduction therapy and a plethora of other innovative treatment approaches.
What is EMTT and How Does it Work?
Extracorporeal magnetic transduction therapy (EMTT) is a non-invasive technology that uses electromagnetic fields to reduce pain and stimulate cellular progenesis in targeted tissues. This groundbreaking new technology is an effective treatment choice for a variety of conditions, including joint pain, muscle disorders, bone fractures, athletic injuries and chronic pain conditions.
EMTT works by transmitting high-energy magnetic pulses at extremely high oscillating frequencies, targeted at damaged tissues. The device is non-invasive and the applicator does not come in contact with the patient’s skin, yet it is powerful enough to penetrate deep tissues up to 18 cm beneath the skin’s surface.
EMTT therapy is ideal for treating difficult-to-reach tendons, muscles, bones and nerves. The electromagnetic waves synchronize with the body’s own magnetic fields, disturbing cells in the region to elicit a regenerative response.
EMTT uses a high-speed generator to emit electromagnetic impulses, each released in nanoseconds. It generates an electrophysical reaction in the treated tissues without raising their temperature.
During an EMTT therapy session, the patient remains fully clothed and experiences minimal discomfort. EMTT is an outpatient procedure that takes 5-20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.
EMTT Therapy for Acute, Chronic and Diffused Pain
We love EMTT for its ability to provide relief to patients suffering from a broad range of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders.
Acute inflammatory pain arising from sports, exercise or trauma
Chronic degenerative joint pain caused by arthritis
Neuropathic pain
Accelerated healing of stress fractures and bone non-unions
Back pain from herniated discs and degenerative disc disease
EMTT Therapy for Acute, Chronic and Diffused Pain
- EMTT’s touch-free technology ensures patient comfort while delivering powerful magnetic pulses that promote healing.
- Patients remain in their street clothes while they receive superior outpatient care.
- EMTT is able to treat a vast range of musculoskeletal conditions.
- Magnetolith EMTT is equipped with an articulated arm that allows for targeted hands-free treatment.
- EMTT sessions typically take fewer than 20 minutes, delivering outstanding results in record time.
- EMTT equipment is low maintenance and inexpensive to operate, keeping treatment costs low and affordable.
- Most patients need only 4-8 EMTT sessions.
A Match Made for Healing: EMTT and ESWT
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high energy sound waves to stimulate tissue healing and relieve pain. Used in the 1980s to break up kidney and gallstones, ESWT technology has since been refined and its use redirected toward tissue healing. When used together with EMTT, ESWT becomes part of a dynamic duo, producing superior results that other therapies cannot touch.
While ESWT uses sound waves, EMTT emits magnetic fields. Both are delivered to the injured region to stimulate cellular progenesis — the formation of new cells to replace damaged ones.
ESWT can be used to generate radial, focused and defocused high-energy sound waves, depending on the nature of the injury or condition. A skilled clinician like Dr. Lev Kalika, trained and certified in regenerative therapies, knows exactly what type, volume and frequency of waves is needed to elicit the best results.
EMTT enhances the effectiveness of ESWT in multiple ways
- Reduces inflammation, allowing for deeper penetration of shock waves
- Improves the condition of a joint’s ligaments, cartilage and fluids to enhance conductivity
- Activates a cellular response in targeted tissues that ESWT builds upon
- Revitalizes damaged cells
- Promotes cell healing
- Enhances muscle function
- Facilitates physical therapy
- Provides instantaneous results
- Enhances the precision of ultrasound guided injections
At NYDNRehab, we use ESWT together with EMTT to accelerate tissue healing and deliver quick, non-invasive and effective pain relief to our patients.
